$CuIn_{1-x}-GaxSe_2$ based materials with direct bandgap and high absorption coefficient are promising materials for high efficiency hetero-junction solar cells. CIGS champion cell efficiency(19.9%, AM1.5G) is very close to polycrystalline silicon(20.3%, AM1.5G). A reduction in the price of CIGS module is required for competing with well matured silicon technology. Price reduction can be achieved by decreasing the manufacturing cost and by increasing module efficiency. Manufacturing cost is mostly dominated by capital cost. Device properties of CIGS are strongly dependent on doping, defect chemistry and structure which in turn are dependent on growth conditions. The complex chemistry of CIGS is not fully understood to optimize and scale processes. Control of the absorber grain size, structural quality, texture, composition profile in the growth direction is important to achieving reliable device performance. In the present work, CIS nanoparticles were prepared by a simple wet chemical synthesis method and their structural and optical properties were investigated. XRD patterns of as-grown nanopowders indicate CIS(Cubic), $CuSe_2$(orthorhombic) and excess selenium. Further, as-grown and annealed nanopowders were characterized by HRTEM and ICP-OES. Grain growth of the nanopowders was followed as a function of temperature using HT-XRD with overpressure of selenium. It was found that significant grain growth occurred between $300-400^{\circ}C$ accompanied by formation of ${\beta}-Cu_{2-x}Se$ at high temperature($500^{\circ}C$) consistent with Cu-Se phase diagram. The result suggests that grain growth follows VLS mechanism which would be very useful for low temperature, high quality and economic processing of CIGS based solar cells.

Recently, a quick drop of air temperature in plastic film houses by adverse weather conditions leads to the occurrence of low temperature damages to growing crops. Chilling injury, defined as a variety of growth restriction occurring below the optimal temperature, is one of environmental factors strongly affecting crop growth and yield. Low temperature causes the restricted evapotranspiration, reduced mineral uptake (P > K > $NO_3{^-}$), and an increase in electrolyte leakage such as K. Despite being different with plant species, an accumulation of soluble carbohydrates such as glucose, fructose, sucrose and starch under chilling condition is well known. A variety of environmental stresses are known to cause oxidative damage to plants either directly or indirectly by triggering an increased level of production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and, to combat the oxidative damage, plants have the antioxidant defense systems comprising of enzymes, SOD, POD, CAT, GPX and APX, and non-enzymes, ascorbate, gluthathione, ${\alpha}$-tocopherol, phenolic compounds, carotenoid and flavonoids. The aim of this review is to provide basic information to build chilling-indicators and optimal nutrition management under adverse temperature conditions as broadly considering mineral uptake, carbohydrate metabolism and antioxidative defense system.

A ultrahigh vacuum chemical vapor deposition(UHVCVD)/metalorganic chemical vapor deposition(MOMBE) system equipped with a radio frequency(RF)-plasma cell was employed to grow GaN layer on the sapphire at a low temperature. The x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis of nitrogen composition on the nitridated sapphite surface indicated that a nitridation process is mostly affected by the RF power at low temperature. Atomic force microscope images of nitridated surface the protrusion density on the nitridated sapphire is dependent on the nitridation temperature. The crystallinity of GaN grown at $450^{\circ}C$ was found to be much improved when the sapphire was nitridated at low temperature prior to the GaN layer growth. Moreover, a strong photoluminescence spectrum of GaN grown by UHVCVD/MOMBE with a rf-nitrogen plasma was observed for the first time at room temperature.

Effect of temperature during the period of 10 days from transplanting (10 DFT) on the growth and development of rice plants was investigated by transplanting semi-adult seedlings six times from 5 April to 15 May at 10-day interval in the field conditions of 2020 and 2021, with aims to investigate the critical temperature for early transplanting of temperate rice. In the two experimental years, mean temperature for 10 DFT appeared 9.1, 10.5, 11.6, 13.8, 13.9, 16.2, 16.4, 16.7, 17.1, 17.8℃ depending on the transplanting date. Mean temperature of 9.1℃ and 10.5℃ for 10 DFT appeared in the April 5 and April 15 transplants in 2020 showed negative or no effect on the increase of rice growth and acceleration of heading date when compared to those of right after transplanting treatments in the same year. Mean temperature of 11.6℃ for 10 DFT appeared in the April 5 transplant in 2021 demonstrated greater biomass from early to heading stage but the same heading date compared to April 15 transplant, indicating that 11.6℃ for 10 DFT had a positive effect on rice growth but no effect on advanced heading. Both more biomass and advanced heading stage were observed when the mean temperature for 10 DFT was 13.8℃ or higher, compared to those of right after transplanting treatments. These findings indicate that effective 10-DFT mean temperature for rice growth exists between 10.5 and 11.6℃, and that for rice development in terms of heading stage lies between 11.6 and 13.8℃ in natural condition. Further field and indoor studies are suggested to narrow down the critical temperature for early transplanting of temperate rice, which will enable to maximize the crop period in high altitude regions with low temperature.

Food borne pathogens are a growing concern for human health and food safety throughout the world. Milk and dairy products are commonly associated with spoilage or contamination from a wide variety of physical, microbial, and chemical hazards. Milk was inoculated with Staphylococcus aureus and stored at 5, 10, 15, 25, and $35^{\circ}C$ for 7 days, and we monitored the growth change and the variance of toxin production. The growth rate of S. aureus was suppressed in low temperature. We confirmed that growth rate and toxin production were accelerated when the storage temperature was increased. S. aureus began to produce toxins when the number of bacteria was higher than $10^5CFU/mL$. Therefore, managing the storage temperature of milk is important to inhibit the growth and the toxin production of S. aureus.

Food safety is a global health goal, and food-borne disease are a significant public health threat throughout the world. Dairy products are susceptible to contamination through a wide variety of physical, microbial, and chemical hazards. Risks of microbiological hazards are of immediate and serious concern to human health. Milk was inoculated with Bacillus cereus and stored at 10, 15, 20, and $30^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. We monitored the effect of the temperature on growth rate and variance of toxin production. The growth rate of B. cereus was suppressed in low temperature. We confirmed that the growth rate and the toxin production were accelerated when the storage temperature was increased. B. cereus began to produce toxins when the number of bacteria was higher than $10^7CFU/mL$. Therefore, managing the storage temperature of milk is important to inhibit the growth and the toxin production of B. cereus.

Eisenia bicyclis, a perennial macroalga is a primary producer of in the ocean, It has been identified as a key species that plays a vital role in maintaining the ecosystem stability. Also, it is an important target in marine afforestation projects and useful marine organisms. In addition, E. bicyclis is used as a health food for humans. This study investigated the effect of water temperature, light (photon irradiance), and duration of light (photoperiod) on the growth of gametophytes and young sporophytes of E. bicyclis. The germination and growth of the zoospores of E. bicyclis were examined at five temperatures (5℃, 10℃, 15℃, 20℃ and 25℃), four intensities of photon irradiance (10, 20, 40, and 80 μmol m-2s-1), and photoperiods (14:10 and 10:14 light/dark cycles). The zoospores released from mature plant germinated into the gametophytes under all experimental conditions. The gametophytes were able to grow at water temperature 5℃-25℃ and mature at 10℃-20℃. The optimal range of water temperature for the maturation of the gametophyte was 15℃-20℃. At 25℃, E. bicyclis gametophytes grew rapidly but did not mature. The optimal culture conditions for the growth of young sporophytes grew slowly in low temperature and photon irradiances.

High efficiency $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ solar cells are generally prepared above $500^{\circ}C$. Lowering the process temperature can allow wider selection of substrate material and process window. In this paper, the three-stage co-evaporation process widely used to grow CIGS thin film at high temperature was modified to reduce the maximum substrate temperature. Below $400^{\circ}C$ the CIGS films show poor crystal growth and lower solar cell performance, in spite of external Na doping by NaF. As a new approach, Cu source instead of Cu with Se in the second stage was applied on the $(In,Ga)_2Se_3$ precursor at $400^{\circ}C$ and achieved a better crystal growth. The distribution of Ga in the films produce by new method were investigated and solar cells were fabricated using these films.
